A Chat with Chloe
Bella: What is the name of the book where we’ll find you? Can you tell us a little about it?Chloe: The book is titled Upon Your Honor. It is a tale about a young woman’s journey away from the nightmare at home and the danger that pursues her. In the story, a gentleman, Gabriel Hill, offers to protect her, but she keeps a lot of secrets from him in order to protect herself.
Bella: Tell us a little about yourself. Where do you fit into the story? What should we know about you?
Chloe: I am 19 years old. I lost my father to pneumonia a few months ago, and since then, I have been in a pretty precarious situation. Upon Your Honor is my story. What should you know? I strongly suspect that who I ran from is coming after me, but I will not return. I simply cannot live that way.
Bella: What do you think of the author? Be honest. We won’t tell.
Chloe: Well, Marie is interesting, I’ll give her that. She often thinks in modern ways, and I have to remind her that we are Victorians after all.
Bella: How do you feel about the story you’re in?
Chloe: Parts of it are a bit startling, but there are some relaxing moments.
Bella: Do you like being a character in the book?
Chloe: It is like being exposed on the front pages of the society column in the newspaper at times. It can be a bit too revealing for my own comfort.
Bella: How do you see your future? Without giving anything away about the story, naturally.
Chloe: I just want to be safe. I want to reach New Orleans, where I can find some kind of peace.
Bella: What do you know about your author’s plans? Can we expect to see you in any future stories?
Chloe: From what she tells me, she is moving on to focus on Gabriel’s sister next, but she assures me that each and every one of us will play a role in the final book.
Bella: Let’s say they make a movie about this book. Who do you want to play you, and why?
Chloe: I believe that Julianne Hough would be a good fit. She is just the right height, and, since she has played the role of a woman on the run before, it seems like this would be a familiar role for her, despite the historic costumes. Besides, I hear she is a lovely dancer.
